Housing Week Awards 2013 – And The Winner Is…

The highlight of Housing Week 2013 was an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of our tenants on Wednesday 16th October.

Each winner received a trophy and £20 gift vouchers in recognition of their achievements. Their names and the reasons they were nominated are listed below:

Tenant of the Year – Tony Denial: “A good neighbour – friendly and always willing to go out of his way to help others.”

Creative Support Spirit Award – Tony Denial: “When I first moved into the project he chatted to me and made me feel welcome. He is generous and a good listener. All in all he’s a nice gentleman.”

Creative Support Spirit Award – Nathan Bidwell: “A caring person – helps other tenants to carry their rubbish to the bins and their shopping to their flats, always happy to stop and chat.”

Community Spirit Award – Michael Statham: “He moved in as a shy and quiet young man and he has gained a lot of confidence. All the staff who support him see how much he has embraced life at the project and feel a sense of fulfillment in their work.”

Environmental Champion Award – Paul Lynch: “A down to earth bloke with a heart of gold who cares for others and a keen gardener. He has transformed our garden and greenhouse.”

Environmental Champion Award – Steven Modd: “He takes part in outdoor activities every week and he is very proud of the fruit and veg he grows in his garden.”

Tenant Involvement Award – Evonne McCleary: “In just over a year, she has moved from 24 hour supported accommodation into her own flat with just four hours of support per week. She spends a lot of time working at head office on the interview panel. She is also a lay assessor and contributes to consultation groups and meetings within Creative Support to represent other service users.”
